It's Just Very Important To Me That You Know Prairie-style Gardens Exist.

Not trying to go on a rant (and yet already ranting) but I’m sick of people faking that “granddaughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” isn’t an AWESOME feminist catchphrase, and branding it as white feminism because “Karen your granny is a christian conservative” like yesss it’s true my granny is a christian conservative but she also secretly had her tubes tied in an illegal clinic because my grandpa was against birth control, and my great-grandma ran away from home at 15 because her parents were against interracial marriage, and my great-great-grandma fled her country because there were no job opportunities for poor women there, and my other grandma also fled her country because her boyfriend tried to force her to have an abortion and she wanted to have her baby, and my mom never married and chose to raise a child on her own, and I am a feminist butch lesbian, and this is what this quote is about, it’s not about your granny being pagan, it’s about valuing your matrilineal lineage of subversive women, even if their subversion was minimal, because they could have been killed or maimed any time by men for not conforming to gender roles even in the slightest way, after all, the witches who indeed were burned were more often than not also just regular, mostly christian conservative, women that somehow pissed off a man

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

Trans women are like Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective. Everyone knows he's a rat but they are terrified to say otherwise because he will have a mental breakdown and will beat the shit out of them if they say otherwise

People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.

If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.

Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.

The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.

Men when women demand legal abortion: well you should've known that sex leads to pregnancy, you stupid slut. Now it's your responsibility to give birth. You knew. You must be responsible for your actions.

Men when they are legally required to give child support:

Didn’t Aristotle say that women are “deformed men” (Politeia)? DIdn’t Otto Weininger say that  “no men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them” (Geschlecht und Charakter)? Didn’t Arthur Schopenhauer say that women are “childish, frivolous, short-sighted” and that they are “by nature meant to obey” (Über die Weiber)? Didn’t Thomas Aquinas say that “Woman is subject to man because in the male reason predominates” (Summa Theologica I)? Didn’t Augustine say that “he [man] is by himself the image of God”, whereas women are “merely man’s helpmate”?

I could go on but I think this should suffice for now. The point is that these are the “great men” that have been profoundly influencing Western thought for thousands of years and are quasi-worshipped for their supposed “genius”.

But then, somewhere along the line, one Valerie Solanas comes along, writes one little satire where she doesn’t talk about men in particularly favourable manner and suddenly she’s The Devil?

‘Men are taught not to be emotional’

Pal men are taught to throw tables across the room if they’re angry and punch people who mildly disrespect them— all of these things are emotional responses they’re just incongruous with what we consider emotional to be i.e. a sniffling teenage girl. Men are super emotional. They’re selfishly emotional. They’re so emotional that they *have* to let any living creature around them feel the pain they feel inside even for a sec.

I love how feminism changed my perspective about everything in life. This is why women are taught that feminism isn't good for them; it opens our eyes and shows us the world's true colours. "If you want to get married or you don't want trouble in life, avoid feminism", they say, but it's for them. They know how strong the power women could hold against men and their sick rules.
